WILMINGTON, Del. – I am happy to report that the Green Party of Delaware (GPDE) retained its ballot access status for the coming election cycle. People involved with the Stein campaign in 2016 will recall the desperate situation GPDE was in during July of 2016 when we needed 50 more people registered and could only register new voters at that point. Because of Delaware’s arcane primary rules, no one is allowed to switch registration status from the beginning of June until the party primaries in early September, not even unaffiliated voters.  But smaller parties have to have their numbers set by August 1.  Fortunately the Stein campaign sent us some people to help with canvassing for new registrants and we just barely got there.

Green candidate arrested MILWAUKEE – Friday, December 6th, 2019 hundreds of students and other local activists rallied in Zeidler Union Square Park to demand action against global warming. Students from all walks of life joined the strike including elementary and college students. North Division High School brought student speakers and a drumline which led the march.
